Linux in the Cloud: Exploring Linux-based Cloud Computing Solutions
Cloud computing has significantly changed the business landscape as various organizations have benefited from the ability to harness scalable infrastructure, flexible storage, and high performance. At the core of this change is Linux, an open-source operating system that is now the foundation of nearly every cloud computing platform. Due to its flexibility, security, and performance, Linux has gained significant popularity as an operating system in data centers. As businesses have slowly shifted to cloud computing, the demand for Linux will also rise. In this article, we focus on using Linux in cloud computing, some of the powerful Linux cloud platforms today, and why Linux is advantageous for businesses in cloud computing. We will also discuss how Linux-based cloud solutions can minimize software development costs and maximize business performance. |
The Future-Proof Server: Antivirus and Beyond for Linux Admins
Linux servers are a far more dominant force in the industry than people give them credit for. Sure, many personal computers run on Windows, but Linux is the operating system behind roughly 81% of all the websites. One reason for this is that it’s more resilient to the majority of threats that most of their counterparts face. While Linux is generally more resilient to viruses, these devices and servers almost always exist on the same network as devices using other systems. So, even though they cannot suffer the brunt of the attack, they can spread viruses and malware to other devices in the network. This is why Linux admins must learn to protect and future-proof their servers. You can’t just slap an antivirus like a flex tape and hope you’ve solved all the problems. Your approach needs to be far more holistic than that. I’ll provide tips admins can implement to secure their servers against malware, viruses, and other malicious threats. |
